Bacardi has joined the fray of established spirit companies releasing exclusive/limited adult beverages. Announced today, Bacardi will release its exclusive Reserva Limitada rum in the United States for the first time. Until now Reserva was only available in limited quantities in Puerto Rico, the Bahamas, the Cayman Islands and Aruba.

Referred to as the “Founder’s Blend,” Bacardi Reserva Limitada was originally created by the Bacardi Rum Master as a personal blend for the Bacardí family in honor of Bacardi founder Don Facundo Bacardí Massó.

Individually bottled, numbered and sealed by hand with a cork finish, Bacardi Reserva Limitada consists of the finest Bacardi rums rested in lightly-charred American white oak barrels between 10 and 16 years.  Each barrel is hand selected for its durability and is periodically inspected to ensure it imparts exceptionally developed flavors to the spirit.  The result is a remarkable, deep golden-hued rum with dark reddish undertones and a character symbolized by exquisite aromas of vanilla, oak and dried fruits that possesses a rich, smooth taste and velvety finish.

Only 1000 cases will be available at select retailers in the States  for $110.00 as well as select bars and restaurants. Grab a bottle while you can.
